DiscinIina the Eve.

A very good way to discipline yne
mechanical eye is to first measure an
inch with the eye, then prove it with a
rule, then measure half-inch, then
an eighth, and SO on, and you will soon
be able to discover at glance the
difference between twelfth and
sixteenth Of an inch; then go to three
inches, six, twelve and so on. Some
call this guessing; there is no guess
work about it. 1t is measuring with the
eye and mind. Acquire the habit Of
criticising for ilnperfeetions every piece
of work that you see; do everything as
nearly as you can without measuring Cor
spelling it), or as nearly as you can
trust the eye with its present training.
IF you cannot see things mechanically,
do not blame the eyefo it; it is no more
to blame than the mouth is because we
cannot read, or the fingers because we
cannot write. A person may write avery
good hand with the eyes closed, tho
mind, of course, directing the fingers.
The eye is necessary, however, to detect
imperfections. Every operation in life
requires mechanically trained eye, and
we should realize more than we do the
great Importance Of properly training
that organ.

The King Of Corea.

A correspondent of the New York
Times who visited the King of Corea,
thus describes that Oriental monarch:
As the party assembled the steps the King
was seen standing behind q small table
in the open audience chamber, and on
his right and left hand were standing
his high officials of state. Conspicuous
on either side of the King was an officer,
each holding across his breast long
sword IN its scabbard, the symbols Of
Corean regal authority. The officer on
the right of the King was PAX Yong
Jun, shortly to represent Corea at Wash
ington as Minister Plenipotentiary The
audience chamber was devoid of furni-
ture, except the small table, and the
floor was covered with mating.
His majesty was dressed in tunlc of
brilliant red, almost vermillion, tinted
silk, the royal color, on the breast and
shoulders of which was beautifully
embroidered on plastrons in gold the
royal dragon. The sleeves of the tunic
were Of the usual deep, pendant pat
term. and on the third finger of his
right hand sparl1led large diamond
ring. On the head was worn the open
worked silk cap, similar to that of his
Ministers, except that it was of q dark
blue color, and the extending butterfly
flaps or wings were not seen, being ap-
parently folded on the back of the cap.
This royal cap is known to the Coreans
as the icksongwan. His hair was ar
ranged on the top of the head in q knot.
On the feet were worn shoes and not the
court boot used by his officials. The
king is now below medium height, has a
swarthy complexion, black hair and
eyes, with mustache and imperial. His
face is strikingly pleasing and express
sive one, while his manner and inter-
preted language indicated him to be a
man of high intelligence and decision of
character. He is 81 years Of age, al
though he hardly appears over 80.

There is a moral in the | ate Atlante

general way. Two years sg9 the prohi-
hitionists carried that city by a majority
of 200. They then proceeded to enforce
the law with unhcard of rigor, invaded
private dwellings az unreasonable hours
and rumaged around, after the manpsr
oil a foragins party in time of war. No
right was respected when the liquor
constables were on the scent. Lawsuits
multiplied, and much factional bitter
ness was inevitably engendered. The
prA4a5itionists, in their eagerness, went
toe ar and aroused q conservative feel
ing That, together with the fact that the
law would not be enforced in spite of
them, buried them under an adverse
majority of vel l, 100 in the county at
the late election. 1t is almost certain
that the liquor element will mistake
this vote AZ u license for free whisky.
and, acting accordingly. will %inaugerste
a reign Of recklessness that will later
change tae majority to the other side.
In many localities neither the prohi,
bitionists or the liquor dealers seem to
have any senss on this question. Each
want all or nothing, and the result 10 a
continual excitement and uncertainty
that does more harm than good Ito the
